I see the Torygraph continues to move in lockstep with the general move of the right wing to the far right wing.

Well hello … they are Scott - they are


Just dropping this here that will ricochet across the interwebs like a damp squib. So why? Because there has been a back end change to how RSS is working on Micro.Blog … so I can see what has changed in my RSS FEED where I check this stuff . I am expecting nothing except maybe this.

I did watch 🎬 One Battle After Another - and it was absolutely marvelous. I do my reviews on Lettrboxd which get pulled to my blog - not sure yet how top connect all that with all this new stuff on micro.blog to create a seamless experience - so until then .. you can get to the review here.
